Languang Justbon’s Composite Document, IFA Opinion and Extended Closing Date

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/country-garden-services-holdings-company-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27343:1" rel="noopener">Country Garden Services Holdings (6098 HK)</a> has entered into agreements with three vendors to purchase a combined 71.17% of outstanding shares in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sichuan-languang-justbon-service-group-co-ltd-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28337:1" rel="noopener">Sichuan Languang Justbon Service Group (2606 HK)</a> for RMB42.8546 (equivalent to HK$51.0569).As a reminder on 25 February 2021, Languang Justbon announced that Languang Hejun, the controlling shareholder, entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Country Garden Services to sell 115.1 million H shares (64.62% of the outstanding shares) at a price of RMB42.1105 per H share. On 11 March, the MOU was updated such that Languang Hejun will sell Country Garden Services 0.75 million domestic shares (0.42% of the outstanding shares) in addition to the previously agreed 115.1 million H shares (64.62% of the outstanding shares). The acquisition price was modestly bumped 1.8% from RMB42.1105 per H share to RMB42.8546 per H share or per domestic share. On completion of the agreements, Country Garden Services will be required to make an unconditional mandatory cash offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code. The unconditional mandatory cash offer (base offer) for all the issued shares is HK$51.0571 per H-share (RMB42.8547 per domestic share). Notably, Country Garden Services proposes to delist Languang Justbon by offering an enhanced cash offer of HK$54.3000 per H-share (RMB45.5768 per domestic share). The enhanced share offer, which is payable only if the delisting is approved, is a 3.6% premium to the last close of HK$52.40 and a 39.41% premium to the unaffected price of HK$38.95 (22 February 2021 prior to the first trading halt). <div class="content-highlight">The two key conditions for the delisting will be approval by at least 75% independent H-shareholders (&lt;10% of all independent H-shareholders rejection) and the satisfaction of the minimum acceptance condition (90% of H-shares held by independent H-shareholders). Independent H-shareholders shareholders represent 51.0 million shares which are 28.62% of outstanding shares. Consequently, the 10% blocking stake is 5.1 million shares which is 2.86% of the outstanding shares. Overall, as we think that the enhanced offer price is reasonable, the delisting proposal will likely succeed. </div>
